Turning Data Noise into Actionable Security: Lessons from a Leading Financial Institution

Customer Story

DLP

"We had a need to do document retention… Cyera helped us discover the data, tag it, and move it into quarantine."

Security leader

U.S. financial institution

This U.S. based financial institution faced a familiar challenge: data spread across cloud, Microsoft 365, and legacy file shares created thousands of false DLP alerts, stalled document retention, and limited visibility into how sensitive data moved. Earlier tools did not solve the problem, and teams struggled to make progress.

The organization worked with Cyera to automate data discovery, tagging, and remediation. This shifted DLP from a manual, noisy process to a risk-driven program that security, privacy, and governance teams could use together.

‍

Key results include:
‍

~16,000 false-positive DLP events reduced to just a handful
Hours of analyst time saved each week by eliminating alert noise
A document retention program was successfully completed after years of stalled progress.
Unified visibility across cloud, Microsoft 365, and on-prem file shares
Clear insight into overshared data and risky user behavior, enabling faster, smarter remediation
